Crowne Plaza Manila Hotel

Crowne Plaza Galleria Manila overall is a great hotel. The service was good from check in until check out. It is located near the Ortigas Center Business District and is just beside the Robinons Galleria Mall which is pretty convenient.

One thing I liked very much about this hotel is its Seven Corners Restaurant which caters a wide variety of food that will definitely not bore you during meals even if your stay is for more than a week.
  
The room I stayed in for 3 nights was clean and spacious with a big comfortable king size bed with 4 fluffy pillows and 2 throw pillows. It has two corner chairs, one for reading and the other for watching television or just for relaxation.


Parallel to the bed is a working table with a telephone, electric socket and a LAN port which is good for those guests on business purpose. The hotel also has a WiFi access but the charge is not minimal. 

I was a bit disappointed about the television since it is still a CRT type model. For a hotel such as this, I was expecting an LCD TV.


There are 2 complimentary bottled drinking water provided in the mini-bar together with tea bags, coffee, sugar and creamer. You can also bring your favorite grinded coffee beans since a coffee maker is readily available as well as a water kettle for making tea. For cold drinks, enclosed below the cabinet is a personal refrigerator.


Connected to the mini-bar is the dresser which houses the electronic safety box, an iron and its board, bath robes, hanger, an emergency flashlight, and a basket for shoes if you want the hotel to polish it.



The bathroom is roomy enough with separate sides for the shower enclosure, bathtub, lavatory and water closet. The towels are neat and clean while the bath accessories such as soap, shampoo, toothbrush and toothpaste are also available.




Below are the day and night views from the room, both shots are facing EDSA and Greenhills.



The hotel is good for its location and amenities but if budget is a concern, there are still other hotels around Ortigas area which could fit the bill.
